I have some confusion about the following concepts in a database property:
In SSMS, when right click a database, for example Model.
1. General tab:
Size: 3.75 MB
Space availabl: 1.14 MB
2. FileS tab:Modeldev Initial Size: 3 MB
Modlelog Initial size: 2 MB
3. When click Shrink file screen: (I don't really shrink them, but just look at the size info on this screen)
Data: Currently allocated space: 2.25 MB, Available free space: 0.88MB (38%)
Log: Currently allocated space: 1.50 MB, Available free space: 0.05MB (3%)
I don't understand in 2 above, the intial size is 3+2 = total 5 MB.
But why in 1 the totoal of database is 3.75 MB?
What does initial mean here?
